Mock AdvertisingI am returning this goods because of false advertising by JVC. The specifications show that the camera support i.LINK, but this is not the invalid. You can plug the camera in to your PC using a 4 pin cable, but it doesn't support the capabilities of i.Relation which include ability to control the camera and get live video feeds using a PC. I wanted to use this camera as a PC camera, but it is not practical. Even if you hook it up to your computer using the other video output connectors, you cannot disable the van-standby mode.
A feel put down step backwards for JVC (review v.3)
My parents have a JVC mini-DV camcorder, purchased several years ago, which works very well for them. Lamentably, that camera works better for me than this one. That one does video through i.LINK, this one doesn't seem to, but judging by a exposition below I need to spend more time and TLC with the instruction book. That one uses stodgy mini-DV tapes. On this one, the tapeless workflow takes some getting occupied to. The TOD format will be recognized by QuickTime if you install the provided codec, and then the straighten out to make it work with QT after v. 7.3 (if you update regularly, you're on 7.5 and it won't employment.) TOD isn't recognized by Adobe Premiere Pro directly, but there are expensive codecs out there that will change over it. You could also rename the files from TOD to M2TS (MPEG-2 TimeStamp) and Creative Suite will slurp it fact up. I admit, I jumped on what looked like a bargain and thought I got stung. As values bright and early goes on, though, it's slowly growing on me.
It's ok for daily use..
I like the magnitude, and fits perfectly on your hand.
The stabilized zoom doesnt trade as well as other cameras.
When downloading to your computer, MAC or PC, you will need to buy the plugins to be able to import them into your video editing programs. (premiere, iMovie, Unchangeable Cut...). It has it's own proprietary file type. (MOD & TOD) which is supposed to be MPEG 2.
